cypress

[Ivey]

Hello everyone,
I got in a load of logs last week. There were w/oak, r/oak, sickeymore, ash, and cypress, a mixed load for sure. Sawed 900 bf of pretty syp for a customer today, and then about 200 bf of the cypress. That cypress sure is nice when you get to the middle of the log where the quarter sawn boards are:-D

I will take some pictures, and post them here. I did not quater saw thes cypress logs, they were to small (10"-16") These are the boards that came from the center of the log as I was flat sawing..

[NCPete]

.90/bf.... sounds good. Wish I had the extra laying around right now.... I would like to make some adirondack chairs with it

I like that, the straight linear grain pattern is more attractive IMO than the wild cathedral grain found in flat sawn. Plus you have the benefit of being more stable (predictable?)
Thanks for the pics :icon_thum
